SS amp or receiver that sounds like Tube Amp


I picked up an Onkyo TX-2500 MKII that sounded like my tube amp. I was actually stunned. Any other and hopefully newer SS gear sounds like a quality tube amp? Tube amps usually have a natural sound and lots of detail with high clarity.

If you prefer vintage electronics, might I suggest a Hafler DH-200...

+1.  I have a DH-220 that was modded by John Hillig at Musical Concepts in 2008.  Tremendous sounding amplifier.  I'm currently running a late 1990s B&K EX-4420 Sonata in my main system.  Both amps use MOSFET design, sound truly amazing for being SS, and both will push just about any speaker you pair with them.  

The MOSFET amps from B&K and Sumo had a very tube-like quality to them.  Very affordable too.

I tested the Shiit Freya in my system with a Shiit Vidar amp

Changing from tubes to solid state made no difference with the Freya.
